PA for brother with mild learning disability

Can anyone recommend an agency in Hertfordshire who can provide a PA/support worker for my 57yo brother in the St Albans area? My brother has mild learning disabilities as well as recently diagnosed ASD/ADHD and struggles with basic time management, prioritisation and decision making. He lives with his elderly mother and doesn't have a job.

He had his first ASD coach/support worker for 6 months who did a great job but sadly had to stop due to personal circumstances.

We need someone who can support him for 2-4hrs per week with organising his time and diary, clothes shopping, budgeting, booking appointments, using his tablet etc.

Thanks!

Have you looked at Camphill in St Albans? Not sure if they would be appropriate but just might be. camphillvillagetrust.org.uk/

Hi, thanks for the suggestion but yes we have. They don't have vacancies. We enquired last year and still no vacancies.

I'm local to you but only ever found PAs directly. I will ask around and get back to you. There's a really good network in St Albans for social and sports through passport to Leisure, SOSA - the Special Olympics group - and Purple All Stars. .
